Chip Attenuators Save Space And Cost

Replacing three resistors, the RAC10 1A Series of chip attenuators provides up to 57% savings in pc board space. They're also said to improve design efficiency and circuit integrity with a 66% reduction in placement cost. The chips are designed for signal conditioning and impedance matching. They're offered in 11 attenuation factors from 0.5 dB to 10 dB with impedance of 50 ohms. Rated input is 40 mW with frequency range of dc to 3 GHz. Sample kits with 30 pieces of each value are available. AT THE SITE: downloadable datasheets.
